Dr.flug's P.O.V

The first thing I registered as I woke was that my head hurt badly but, it didn't seem as bad as it once was. It felt more like a dull throbbing compared to how it was before which felt like a jack hammer slamming down on my head in quick succession. The room I was in was dark but, warm and at first I didn't recognize it was my proper bedroom instead of the lab which had basically became my living area of the mansion sense I was down there more often then not.

The second thing I registered was something cold on my head which I figured to be a ice pack recently applied. As expected it had soaked through the bag because of the condensation but, I didn't move to fix it because the second I had tried sitting up the room began swimming in my vision which wasn't a good sign as it meant I had a concussion or was severely dehydrated but, im sure it was a combination of many reasons.

Finally the third thing I realized was I could sense Blackhat in the darkness on the far side of the room and 5.0.5 who had managed to fit on the massive bed I had in the room were both fast asleep so I decided to keep quiet and not let them know I was up. They both looked exhausted and seemed to have been keeping constant watch while I was out. For 5.0.5 it made sense but, for Blackhat it seemed out of place. Maybe it's just because I'm his main way of making money with the inventions I work on for him.

I don't think he sees me as a equal which is fair he's a demon and I'm not although for a split second while I was captive I wanted to be one so I could fight back but, quickly got snapped back to reality when the realization hit that having that ability would of gotten me killed in a instant.

Instead of fists and belts, knives and fire would of been used instead. Neither situation would be desired as a war would break out. Blackhat may be sleeping but, I can tell he would be willing to murder everyone if a war did break out. With him being asleep his power isn't fully active but that can change in a instant. His alertness is scary sometimes and makes us a bit uneasy as his temper tends to send him into his full form if the threat becomes 'unstable'.

Despite better judgement I try to sit up again moving slower then  before and it seems to help. If only this throbbed would cease then I could get something to drink as my throat was pretty dry right now and uncomfortable. For now I will just wait here because as soon as I leave I would likely wake both occupants and with that I got out my notebook and worked on drawings that didn't require too much focus.
